Cowletta Moolove Funmigurumi

With Cowletta, we will start a new family of Funmigurumi, the Moolove family, straight out of a green and pretty prairie!
The idea for this funmigurumi came from a personal request from a special crocheter, but it just stirred up things on the farm, so Cowletta wound up having a sister, her name is Milketta. I hear some mooing coming from the pasture so I don’t know if there are more little cows out there or may even a couple of bulls. . . Meantime, enjoy Cowletta until we find out!

About Me

I'm a writer, translator, craftster and artist. A bookworm, a vegan food and crafts blogger, pet lover and gardener, not in that
order and not at the same time, although sometimes, it might seem that way. I'm an enthusiast of almost everything handmade. I can do many crafts, but would still like to
learn many more. I love to do things for children's charities and to look at a gorgeous sunset. At home we have 2 dogs and a cat.
All of our pets have been rescued from the Pound. I am an avid crocheter since childhood and can design my own patterns which I really enjoy.
